The Museo di Roma in Trastevere was established in 1977 in the restored Carmelite convent of Sant'Egidio. It was initially known as the Museo del Folklore e dei Poeti Romaneschi. Following a period of closure it was reopened under its present name in 2000.

Like many squares in Rome the Piazza Sant’Egidio is named for the church that can be found there. This church in turn gets its name from the patron saint of cripples and beggars, the Benedict Egidio. The second attraction on the square is the historical building Palazzo Velli.

Colorful Trastevere is a funky, bohemian area that clings to its centuries-old, working-class roots. It's known for traditional and innovative trattorias, craft beer pubs and artisan shops, as well as simple B&Bs and budget hotels. From the pre-dinner passeggiata (promenade) until late, a young crowd buzzes around Piazza di San Calisto and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, the site of a gilded, mosaic-filled church.
